Outstanding capture of this Gambel's quail, Tom! However, she needs to work on straightening out that unruly looking topknot of hers!

Hi Mike...As always, thanks so much for you comments. She was definitely having a bad hair day.

Happy trails.

Looked out my kitchen window and saw a bunch of turkeys way up in my trees munching on the berries.

Very attractive capture, Cog! Love the low camera angle. What is the name of this stilt?
Another excellent shot, Cog!

Thank you, Mike! It's a black-winged stilt. I think it's the only stilt in our neck of the woods, and a very common wader.

Really nice portrait of this modest yet beautiful bird.
He doesn't have fancy colours, but the singing in spring time is beautiful.
You have got some very nice light there.
Thank you for sharing.

A very nice photo.
That's an interesting contrast between the bird and the background. Looks like you placed this colourful bird into a black and white environment.
Thank yoy for sharing this.
